👣 Your diet emissions equal about 6.1 times the Lancet sustainable diet estimate
The good news is there's lots that can be done about that: things which are easily achieved. Check out the sustainable food ideas to the right here, and on this dedicated sustainable food sustainability page on the ClimateConnected.ie website
A Lancet 2019 report [1] proposed that for our food system to be healthy and sustainable - that everyone in the world had enough healthy food to eat and our food sources would not contribute to dangerous global heating - we would need to keep CO2 eq emissions from global food to 5Gt in 2030. Since the world population is predicted to be about 10bn people in 2030, that means we would have to keep our CO2 emissions from food to 0.5 tonnes per year. We can do this by eating more vegetables and pulses and by eating some other foods occasionally as treats or not at all.
